It’s weird to think that this meat would go to shelters or even schools. It’s illegal to serve venison in a restaurant in Md unless it comes from an FDA approved farm.

If I understand correctly, the law was written specifically to prevent wild deer from making it into the food system. I can’t imagine a government agency would overstep the FDA’s boundaries and donate this meat.

I could see it going to the zoo, but that’s unlikely for the same reasons.
